matchbox memory

Random images ingrained in your memory for no apparent reason, that are too vague to analyze, or try to understand why? you remember them and not other random images from life.
Ex, suddenly being reminded of the sight of walking through a carnival from ten years ago, or a person from a dream who you never knew, that come back to you occasionally.
"Matchbox" memory, because they're so small and disposable (so flammable) but somehow they never disappeared; like a match lighting on fire in an instant, a matchbox memory just comes to you for no reason, but you know you've already thought about it sometime before.
You know those things you remember, that are like flashbacks but they don't mean anything? Those one-frame memories taking up space in your brain for no reason? That's a matchbox memory. Images from your life that don't mean anything but that you can't shake

Memorial High School

4 years of torture in Frisco. Like, Literally I had my senior year end in a school prank which literally consisted of toilet paper being thrown around and sprayed. Half the time the bathrooms don't work because 1 or 2 idiots keep on ruining it for everybody (the doors literally got torn down in the bathroom).

Everyday there is a fight in this school because of some stupid breakup.
Class of 2022 is going to be known for their stupidity and I am glad I am out of what I like to call "El Diablo"
The teachers are pretty good though.
No sir, I would not like a Memorial High School as a punishment over prison.
Judge: Prison it is!

To masturbate to one's thoughts, especially when pornography is not available.
Shit! My phone died five minutes in, guess I'll just start memory baiting instead.

cringe memory

The phenomenon where we're ironically better in remembering embarrassing moments*

*compared to the moments when we've done all the things we should do
I was trying to recall my achievements, but all I could think about were the cringe memory, like the time I tripped in front of my crush during the school assembly.

Memories Music

Straight up trash playlist. Terrible music from the 60s and 70s that is liked by gays and old people bout to be dead. Copa Cabana and Dancing Queen are on this playlist.
This memories music playlist they are playing tonight is ruining my whole summer.
